I think the state's violence has been... The thing that I fear the most is that
Black people have a resentment towards the public right now because of how people speak about us.
It's like, what are you talking about?
We've been saying this for like 10, 20 years.
You know what I'm saying?
Way before Rodney King.
Police and state violence against black bodies has always been normalized.
So, I think that...
black people have like a certain resentment towards this newfound concern around police violence.
And I think with it, with being with the ice, it's like anything goes with them.
And I think that's the part that scares people the most.
It's like, well, we kind of used to y'all just kind of zero in on all these people.
We all killing white folks.
You know, that is like what's going on.
And I think for you,
How is a way that somebody can not only get involved with your organization, but what can they learn from your organization if they wanted to start their own in this fight, not only against ICE, but just against state violence in general?
